Over the weekend the boyfriend and I went to see Troy on our "date night" and I must say that we both found it to be...hideous. Brad Pitt's hot body couldn't save the crappy, moral-heavy dialogue (Showgirls had better dialogue) nor the boring close-up-heavy fight scenes all of which began with the "wall of armies" walking towards each other. Sorry guys...that CGI effect worked well in all 3 Lord of the Rings films but we don't need to see it repeated in your "epic".
And this might be petty, but I also didn't realize there were so many blonde hair, blue-eyed people in Greece back then. From Helen of Troy (nee Sparta) to Achilles' cousin to the King of Troy, the Arian look was abundant. Could that have anything to do with Wolfgang Peterson's appearance, could it?
I did, however, like Eric Bana as Hector. Don't remember much about his performance other than the fact he delivered the bad lines like a pro, but I definitely remember his chest.
By the way, how many times have your eyes darted over to look at Mr. Anniston's crotch while reading this bland review? I'll stop here.
Eric Bana's Chest! OMG! In movie chest-dom, that's right up there with Ricardo Montalban in Wrath of Khan.

All hail Brad Pitt! Metal has never been such as turn on.

Ahh, honestly, about ten times. I can't help it. Pitt is doing this on purpose to distract me from reading your comments. Blame him.
